Fibro: What People Don’t See (Infographic)

There’s so much more to fibromyalgia than meets the eye. Below the surface, living with fibro can mean days spent in bed, missed appointments, and alternate days when we seem “fine.” We know that fibromyalgia comes with hundreds of possible combinations of symptoms, many of which appear invisible to outsiders. Most people don’t see the many symptoms we experience.

On MyFibroTeam.com, the social network and online support group for people living with fibromyalgia, members discuss the chronic nature of the disease and its hidden symptoms. MyFibroTeam has grown to reach 112,000 members and members have shared over 10 million conversations about life with fibro! Throughout the year we will share themes we see come up time and time on MyFibroTeam. We chose the image of an iceberg to represent fibro symptoms because the life-impacting implications of a fibro diagnosis aren’t obvious on the surface. Please share to spread fibro awareness!
